Bits, Baud and BPS: What They Really MeanMar 29, 2001
Popular Products in Modems
The Bottom Line The true measure of modem speed is the number of data bits transmitted per second. "Baud" refers to changes in state of a modem's signal. All are defined here ...
Do you know what �bits,� �baud� and �bps� really mean? Modem transmission speed is the source of no little confusion, even among otherwise informed computer and modem users. The root of the problem is the fact that the terms "baud" and "bits per second" are used interchangeably and indiscriminately. I strongly suspect this is a result of the fact that it's easier to say "baud" than "bits per second," though misinformation has a hand in it, too. If you've ever found yourself confused by the relationship between bits and baud rate, or if you think that a modem's baud rate is the same as the number of bits or characters it transmits per second, please read this article carefully. I guarantee to clear up the confusion and disabuse you of any false concepts ... and just maybe make the whole matter of modem speed a little less intimidating. Computer data format Before we examine how fast data can be moved by modems, we should take a quick look at just what computer data is. We perceive most computer data as letters, numerals, spaces, and other symbols (including graphic elements). These are referred to as characters or bytes. Your PC sees data as more than that, however. Within a computer, each character is handled as a group of what are called data bits. A data bits is literally the smallest discreet data unit, and data bits are the building blocks of all computer data. Your computer, the programs it runs, storage media, and data transmission devices like modems see each character or byte as a group of 7 or 8 bits. The computer sees the data bits these as binary digits, represented by digital 0�s and 1�s. (The word �bit� is actually a contraction of �Binary digIT.�) Depending on the device, the 0 or 1 may be represented by an �off� or �on� state, a positive or negative electrical charge, etc. The important element here is that there are only two possible states for a bit, represented digitally by 0 or 1. Thus, all characters or bytes are merely groupings of digital 1�s or 0�s. The number of possible groupings in 7- or 8-bit strings is exactly what�s required to represent all possible letters, numerals, spaces, and other symbols your PC uses. These groups are what your system�s software and your modem deal with--in different formats, but always representing bytes as groups of digital 1�s and 0�s. (The letter �T� at the beginning of this sentence, for example, is represented digitally by 110110.) Given that the basic unit of data is the bit, and your system and modem handle data as bits, it should be no surprise that the true measure of modem speed is the number of bits transmitted per second. Bits per second Bits per second is a measure of the number of data bits transmitted each second by a modem. This is sometimes referred to as the "bit rate,� but more commonly referred to as bps (short for �bits per second�). A given character (letter, number, space, symbol, or other character) is made up of Individual characters (letters, numbers, etc.) are made up of 7 or 8 bits, and are called bytes. Thus, bits are the basic components, or building blocks, of data in your computer. are composed of several bits. While a modem�s bps rate is tied to its baud rate, the two are not the same, as explained below. Baud rate Modems transmit data by changing the signal in a communications link (a telephone line). Changes in the signal (in strength, frequency, or other elements) represent bits. The nature of the signal and how it changes aren�t important here; what does matter is the fact that the signal changes in some respect to represent each bit--one sort of signal change can be a digital 0, another can be a digital 1. Thus, a series of changes represents each byte (letter, numeral, etc.) transmitted. You don�t have to worry about how this is done; your modem and software take care of that. Each change is referred to as a baud. Baud rate is a measure of the number of times per second a signal in a communications link changes. One baud is one such change. Thus, a 300-baud modem's signal changes state 300 times each second, while a 600-baud modem's signal changes state 600 times per second. This does not necessarily mean that a 300-baud and a 600-baud modem transmit 300 and 600 bits per second, as you'll learn in a few lines. Determining bits per second Depending on the modulation technique used, a modem can transmit one bit--or more or less than one bit--with each baud, or change in state. Or, to put it another way, one change of state can transmit one bit--or more or less than one bit. As I mentioned earlier, the number of bits a modem transmits per second is directly related to the number of bauds that occur each second, but the numbers are not necessarily the same. To illustrate this, first consider a modem with a baud rate of 300, using a transmission technique called FSK (Frequency Shift Keying, in which four different frequencies are turned on and off to represent digital 0 and 1 signals from both modems). When FSK is used, each baud (which is, again, a change in state) transmits one bit; only one change in state is required to send a bit. Thus, the modem's bps rate is also 300: 300 bauds per second X 1 bit per baud = 300 bps Similarly, if a modem operating at 1200 baud were to use one change in state to send each bit, that modem's bps rate would be 1200. (There are no 1200 baud modems, by the way--nor are there any 2400-baud modems. Remember that. This is only a demonstrative and hypothetical example.) Now, consider a hypothetical 300-baud modem using a modulation technique that requires two changes in state to send one bit, which can also be viewed as 1/2 bit per baud. Such a modem's bps rate would be 150 bps: 300 bauds per second X 1/2 baud per bit = 150 bps To look at it another way, bits per second can also be obtained by dividing the modem's baud rate by the number of changes in state, or bauds, required to send one bit: 300 baud --------------- = 150 bps 2 bauds per bit Now let's move away from the hypothetical and into reality, as it exists in the world of modulation. First, lest you be misled into thinking that "any 1200 baud modem" should be able to operate at 2400 bps with a two-bits-per-baud modulation technique, remember that I said there are no 1200 baud modems. Medium- and high-speed modems use baud rates that are lower than their bps rates. Along with this, however, they use multiple-state modulation to send more than one bit per baud. For example, 1200 bps modems that conform to the Bell 212A standard (which includes most 1200 bps modems used in the U.S.) operate at 300 baud and use a modulation technique called phase modulation that transmits four bits per baud. Such modems are capable of 1200 bps operation, but not 2400 bps because they send only four bits per baud, with 300 bauds per second. So: 300 baud X 4 bits per baud = 1200 bps or 300 baud ------------------ = 1200 bps 1/4 baud per bit Similarly, 2400 bps modems that conform to the CCITT V.22 recommendation (virtually all of them) actually use a baud rate of 600 when they operate at 2400 bps. However, they also use a modulation technique that transmits four bits per baud: 600 baud X 4 bits per baud = 2400 bps or 600 baud ------------------ = 2400 bps 1/4 baud per bit Thus, a 1200-bps modem is not a 1200-baud modem, nor is a 2400-bps modem a 2400-baud modem. Now let's take a look at 9600-bps modems. Most of these operate at 2400 baud, but (again) use a modulation technique that yields four bits per baud. Thus: 2400 baud X 4 bits per baud = 9600 bps or 2400 baud ------------------ = 9600 bps 1/4 baud per bit Characters per second Characters per second (cps) is a measure of the number of characters (letters, numerals, spaces, and symbols) transmitted over a communications link in one second. Cps is often the bottom line in rating data transmission speed, and a more convenient way of thinking about data transfer than baud-rate or bps. Determining the number of characters transmitted per second is easy: simply divide the bps rate by the number of bits per character. You must of course take into account the fact that more than just the bits that make up the binary digit representing a character are transmitted when a character is sent from one system to another. In fact, up to 10 bits may be transmitted for each character during ASCII transfer, whether 7 or 8 data bits are used for each character. This is because what are called start- and stop-bits are added to characters by a sending system to enable the receiving system to determine which groups of bits make up a character. In addition, a system usually adds a parity bit during 7-bit ASCII transmission. (The computer's serial port handles the addition of the extra bits, and all extra bits are stripped out at the receiving end.) So, the number of bits per character is usually 10 (either 7 data bits, plus a parity bit, plus a start bit and a stop bit, or 8 data bits plus a start bit and a stop bit). Thus: 9600 bps ----------------------- = 960 characters per second 10 bits per character 14,400 bps ----------------------- = 1,440 characters per second 10 bits per character 28,800 bps ----------------------- = 2,880 characters per second 10 bits per character �and so on. CPS and file-transmission times Remember: The number of characters per second is the same as the number of bytes transmitted each second. So, you can use this information to estimate the amount of time required to send or receive a given file. If, for instance, you want to download a file that is 403,200 bytes in size at 14,400 bps, the download should take about 4-1/2 minutes. Note that I should the download �should� take 4-1/2 minutes; in reality, it will take up to half again as much time. This is because of �overhead time� your system and the remote system require. Your system has to open the file, check incoming data, and write the file to your hard disk, while the remote system has to find, check, and transmit the data--and both systems carry on data-checking communications as the file is transmitted. So, the ideal time of 4-1/2 minutes is stretched to 6-1/2 minutes, on the average. This overhead time becomes less of a percentage of the total expected time the larger the file is, fortunately. Not incidentally, you may on occasion find that a transmission is taking even longer than you expect, even allowing for the overhead time. When this is the case, it is usually caused by the fact that your modem and the remote system�s modem have reduced their communication speed due to poor telephone line conditions (or, in the case of a large download, too many errors during file transmission). When the difference is enough to be noticeable, it is probably a good idea to log off and reconnect. Quite often, you can get a �bad� line and calling back solves the problem. If the problem is persistent, it is probably due to weather conditions somewhere along the modem link. In that case, all you can do is live with the slowdown, or wait a few hours and try again. Adding it all up Now you have a better idea of what modem speed is all about. Not to mention how your computer handles data, how data is transmitted, and how that transmission is measured. Armed with this knowledge, you should find the �techie� language of modem speed less intimidating--and feel more comfortable about what�s happening the next time you download a file. --Copyright, 2001, Michael A.

The Argentinean Language and Culture Scholarship Program is designed for those students who wish to take part in a fast learning of the language, combined with social and cultural activities that allow them to practice it at the same time.
The academic syllabus covers all the aspects of the language learning process (writing, reading, speaking and understanding) with special emphasis on the development of communicational skills on the part of the student. The objective is that the language acquisition can be further enhanced by its continuous use in real life situations and contexts. This program includes 6 daily group lessons. (40 minutes each lesson) during 2 weeks.
What does each PARTIAL scholarship include?
- Orientation – Video of Argentina
- Walking tour – Center - Córdoba - Córdoba City
- A 2-week Intensive Full Spanish Cultural Immersion course
- 6 lessons of daily Spanish language and Cultural classes. (Monday/Friday)
- A program of 60 lessons in total + covering Spanish language, culture classes, activities and current events
- Homestay in a furnished single or shared room of a house or flat. Living with local students, young working people.
- Breakfast and dinner (Half board)
- Visit to Museums: Buen Pastor – Palacio Ferreyra
- Visit to Archivo de la Memoria (Desaparecidos)
- Argentinean Wine tasting
- Cross-cultural studies
- Certification
- 24-hour emergency phone line
Cross Cultural Training Program, Folder containing a map of the city, workbook. Access to reading and reference books, Hispanic song, etc. Free Internet Access , Free coffee and tea. Permanent information about excursions, films, sports, theater, concerts, etc. And on satisfactory participation in the course, a certificate of completion, listing the student's level of Spanish, the duration of the course and the hours of study completed.
Students will be required to attend all program activities, including classroom instruction, cultural excursions. Absences will only be excused for medical reasons.
There are weekly tests and quizzes. A very important aspect of the program is the requirement that the students keep a daily journal written in their language of study. These journals are reviewed by language instructors on a daily basis and provide an important record of the students progress, whether they are mastering new vocabulary and more complex grammar and sentence structure. Students will receive 30 lessons of language instruction a week, including an adaptation course and cultural classes (orientation and modeling real-life situations to facilitate students' adaptation to new cultural environment), a corrective course of Spanish pronunciation, Spanish Grammar, Communicating in Spanish, Argentinean and South American Culture studies.
The courses will cover the following aspects:
Listening comprehension, phonetics and pronunciation
Conversation, reading, writing
Vocabulary building and lexical practice
Argentinean Cultural Studies
South American Cultural Studies.
Students will also participate in a variety of cultural enrichment lectures and activities. These activities are an essential component of the language acquisition process and attendance is mandatory.
This intensive course provides a solid foundation in both grammar and practical conversation skills. The course meets for six lessons daily, five days a week, for 2 weeks. Peer helpers provide additional practice hours in the afternoon, on location or during the weekly excursions to cultural and historical sites of the region. Seminars, participation in local cultural events are part of the overall program.
Students should improve their ability to communicate in Spanish from the isolated dialogue situations of the classroom, to the everyday realities of modern Argentinean life. They should be able to interact smoothly with their cultural environment. Students who attack their study program aggressively can learn up to 800 new vocabulary items, turning an average student vocabulary of essential items into the fluent working vocabulary of a functional adult speaker. Furthermore, students will have a deep exposure to Argentinean culture. For those students that have requested group classes and there is no group with the same level as the interested person, a reduction of hours will be done to compensate group classes with the corresponding proportional individual classes.
Total Program Fees: USD 480
At the moment there are only PARTIAL scholarships only in Córdoba city. The total costs of participation with the Partial Scholarship is U$S 480 (US Dollars) and includes: Spanish and cultural courses, accommodation, school activities, study material, certification, administrative and registration fees, tax and civil liability and medical emergency insurance.
Payment by Bank transfer: The U$S 480 payable by bank deposit. In order to confirm your booking we need to have the total amount of the program deposited in our bank account. We do not take credt or debit cards at our offices. Take into account that all bank fees for the transferece must be covered by the student. Be sure to ask your bank about this otherwise the payment for your program will be incomplete. A copy of the receipt´s bank deposit must be sent to confirm the booking.
Spending money: You should think about U$S 8 a day for meals and general cost of living. Remember that air ticket could be very expensive to travel to Argentina, take your time to find out the best deals but don´t wait too much.

Fully-rugged Panasonic computers are the first computers to be MIL-STD-810G certified for a range of extreme conditions including 72" drops1, shocks, vibration, humidity, altitude, rain-, dust- and sand-resistance, temperature extremes and thermal shock. Each of the twenty MIL-STD-810G tests conducted have been certified by independent lab testing. MIL-STD-810G, which was created in October 2008, supersedes MIL-STD-810F.
DOWNLOAD MIL-STD-810G REPORTFully-rugged Toughbook models are also tested to the MIL-STD-461F standard methodology for electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) in Panasonic's R&D facility in Japan and certified by a third party. The certification ensures that Panasonic Toughbook mobile computers are electromagnetically compatible with other nearby electronic equipment. Panasonic Toughbook mobile computers do not generate unwanted electromagnetic energy that could interfere with the operation of other equipment, nor are susceptible to the effects of unwanted electromagnetic energy from equipment in the same vicinity.
Panasonic has various certifications that meet federal requirements for rugged computers. Below is the MIL-STD-461F certification.
Fully-rugged Toughbook® mobile computers are IP65 certified1 according to the IP code defined in the international standard IEC 60529.
The products are tested and certified by an independent test lab facility located in the United States. Rather than vaguely describing equipment as "waterproof" or "dustproof", the IP Code uniformly quantifies various levels of resistance to liquids, particulates and solid objects. The numbers following the letters "IP" represent the specific degree of protection provided by electrical enclosures. The first digit (6) indicates the ingress of dust at a level that will not have a harmful effect on the operation of the unit. The second digit (5) indicates that water sprayed from all directions will not compromise the computer's functioning. Higher numbers indicate a higher tolerance to dust and water. For example, a unit with an IP65 rating will withstand both elements better than a unit with an IP54 rating. While IP65-certified Toughbook computers are not completely impervious to the ingress of water or dust, the rating does indicate neither element will cause operational complications while used under conditions commonly encountered by Toughbook mobile computers.
Underwriters Laboratories (UL) tests products for public safety and has developed more than 1,000 "Standards for Safety".
UL 1604 certification allows products to be used in potentially explosive environments found in oil and gas, petrochemical, aviation and other industries. Select fully-rugged Toughbook® mobile computers can be configured to provide safe, reliable solutions for spark-free use. UL 1604-approved models are available for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C and D environments. These are defined as places where flammable gases, vapors and liquids are present during abnormal or accident conditions.
ENERGY STAR, a joint program between the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and U.S. Department of Energy, offers voluntary qualification for products that are energy efficient. The ENERGY STAR program sets high standards designed to save energy, save money and help protect the environment for future generations. Panasonic is one of nearly 20,000 organizations that have become ENERGY STAR partners, all working to promote, sell, or improve products, homes, and buildings that use less energy and qualify for the ENERGY STAR. Panasonic's commitment to ENERGY STAR initiatives and other environmental programs have resulted in all Toughbook® computers earning the ENERGY STAR.
ENERGY STAR for computers raises the efficiency bar dramatically. ENERGY STAR establishes efficiency requirements for all modes of a product's operation, which ensures energy savings when a product is active and running basic applications, as well as in low power modes. Qualifying products must also include an internal power supply that is at least 80 percent efficient. Only the most energy-efficient products, including all Toughbook computers have qualified for the new specification. If all computers sold in the US meet ENERGY STAR requirements, the savings in energy costs will grow to more than $1.5 billion each year, reducing greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to those from 2 million vehicles.
EPEAT is an easy-to-use, online tool to help purchasers in the public and private sectors evaluate, compare and select products based on their environmental attributes. EPEAT also provides a clear and consistent set of performance criteria for the design of products, and provides an opportunity for manufacturers to secure market recognition for their efforts to reduce the environmental impact of its products.
EPEAT evaluates electronic products according to three tiers of environmental performance — Bronze, Silver and Gold. There are 51 total environmental criteria: 23 required criteria and 28 optional criteria. A Bronze-rated product meets all 23 required criteria. A Silver-rated product meets all 23 required criteria plus at least 50% of the optional criteria. A Gold-rated product meets all 23 required criteria and at least 75% of the optional criteria. All Toughbook computer models are either gold- or silver-rated, ensuring the highest level of environmental performance.
Since 1996, all Panasonic manufacturing plants worldwide—including the factory in Kobe, Japan—have achieved ISO 14001 registration and implemented the ISO 14001 Environmental Management System. The Kobe factory has also been certified for ISO 9001, an international standard for quality management systems that enhance product quality assurance and customer satisfaction.
International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an international federation promoting the development of international manufacturing, trade, and communication standards. ISO 14000, a series of standards, provides the framework for managing the environmental impacts of an organization.
The ISO 14001 international standard established a systematic approach that organizations can use to minimize or prevent environmental impacts and risks. This approach, known as an Environmental Management System or EMS, requires the organization to establish an environmental control policy, educate employees about procedures and continually monitor environmental performance.
For manufacturers of electronic equipment, the main impact of RoHS is that only lead-free products can be sold in Europe. Panasonic has therefore shifted to lead-free solder. By selling RoHS-compliant products in all countries, not just Europe, Panasonic helps eliminate hazardous electronic waste materials from landfills and waste dumps around the world.
READ MORESection 508 was enacted to eliminate barriers in information technology, to make available new opportunities for people with disabilities, and to encourage development of technologies that will help achieve these goals. Electronic and information technology procured by Federal agencies must meet Section 508's requirements for accessibility.

American Experience
The Murder of Emmett Till (#1506)
In August 1955, a 14-year-old black boy from Chicago whistled at a white woman in a grocery store in Money, Mississippi. Emmett Till didn't understand that he had broken the unwritten laws of the Jim Crow South. Three days later, two white men dragged him from his bed in the dead of night, beat him brutally and shot him. Although his killers were arrested and charged with murder, they were both quickly acquitted by an all-white, all-male jury. Soon after, the defendants sold their story, including a detailed account of how they murdered Till, to a journalist. The murder and the trial horrified the nation and the world. Till's death was a spark that helped mobilize the civil rights movement. Three months after his body was pulled from the Tallahatchie River, the Montgomery Bus Boycott began. Mamie Till returned to Chicago, remarried, taught public school for twenty-four years, and continued to speak publicly about her son's death. [56 minutes]

SYNOPSIS: A young, attractive widow is protected from her vicious mother-in-law, by a male relative who practices Satanism, and lusts after the old woman's sexy adolescent granddaughter. REVIEW: "Molina's Ferozz" is a Spanish 2010 film directed by Cuban director Jorge Molina. Its title was changed to "Ferozz: The Wild Red Riding Hood", though I'm not so sure there was really much in this film that resembled the old fairy tale of influence. It was clear … Continue reading

"Great recipe! I made this for brunch today and it was a huge success. I live in central Texas and peaches are local, ripe and incredible. So instead of apples I used the peaches and left out the cranberries. It had a tartness matched with a sweet brown sugar syrup that hits every taste like a bomb.

Rise and shine with Simple Alarm Clock
Set alarms for each day of the week with this useful but basic program.
Simple Alarm Clock is exactly what the name implies: an extremely easy-to-use program that lets you set different alarms for every day of the week. It's definitely not the most feature-filled alarm utility we've seen, but for simplicity, it can't be beat.
The program's interface is all business, with a list of the days of the week and check boxes and drop-down menus that let you make selections. Days can be enabled individually, which is handy if your work or school schedule varies and you need to get up at different times during the week. You then just enter the time and select either the default alarm sound--a classic ringing alarm bell--or an audio file of your own choosing. You can also select how many minutes the snooze delay will last. Clicking Set Alarms saves the program's settings and minimizes it to the system tray. We tried several alarms and they all went off as scheduled, with the program launching our default media player to play audio that we had selected. The program has no other features and no Help file, but that's OK; it does all it needs to do and doesn't require much explanation. If you're looking for something with multiple daily alarms or custom alert messages, Simple Alarm Clock isn't it. But if you need something that will simply get you out of bed or otherwise alert you to a specific time, this program fits the bill.
Simple Alarm Clock installs and uninstalls without issues.

Come back here in 2-6 months when you find out you have a life outside of wow, and you can't sit on your butt in front of your computer screen 6 hours a day every day until you get 145 tickets during that one precious week that you are allowed to participate in the DMF. Not everyone can do this. It's a massive poke in the eye. |
I'm not one to complain about the game much... I let most things just roll off my back.
However, I found myself very disheartened yesterday when I looked at how many Darkmoon Faire tickets I've obtained so far, and how much harder it would be to be able to purchase things there. I have to be blunt here. Saying that we could all earn 140 DMF tickets a month is unrealistic. What you mean is that there is a possibility of up to 140 tickets. If that's the maximum, and the process of obtaining tickets involves a fair amount of luck and RNG, then what you really need to do is tell us what our realistic AVERAGE is. Maybe it's closer to 80? 90? I don't think it has to be this difficult, and I think the solutions from a development/designing side isn't all that difficult. Tweaks that would help take a lot of pressure off of people's frustrations: Issue #1: Transmog gear Solution: As we do dailies, I see that we earn Darkmoon Faire rep. How about changing the requirements for transmog gear so that we can purchase them with gold, but they require Darkmoon Faire rep to buy? You can even provide levels of rep progress, so you could purchase leggings at Friendly, gloves at Honored, and so on, with the most highly coveted (and most visible) slots available once a player is Exalted? So helms, shoulders, chests, could all require Exalted.... but be purchaseable using GOLD. Issue #2: Low reward for DMF Island dailies Solution: My understanding is that during the PTR test, players earned 5 DMF tickets for each daily done. I strongly urge the developers to consider bringing this back. People who faithfully got to DMF to do do the dailies will still be rewarded, even if they don't have the time or ability to run numerous dungeons or BGs to obtain the rare drops. Issue #3: Tickets from Dungeon Rare Drops Solution: If the concept is to encourage players to run different dungeons, how about offering us a special dungeon quest? What's the current number of dungeon rares? 7? How about offering us 7 dungeon quests (you could even just offer a different one each day, all week)? Those who complete a dungeon can loot the quest item from the final boss? This takes RNG out of the factor -- I believe the RNG factor is a source of great frustration. Think about it this way; if the purpose of offering dungeon rare drops is to encourage us to do the dungeons, well, there you go. Give us dungeon quests, and we'll go do them! Now... if you introduced the dungeon rare drops into the economy as BoEs on purpose, my suggestion would be to switch it around. Boss DMF quest loot will be BOP... but make the pets you purchase at DMF, BoU. It'll become like those pets we all worked for during the Grand Crusader patch. Those are still a very good way for people to make some extra money by just going and doing dailies. Bottom line: I think Darkmoon Faire is a wonderful addition to the game, but it is in need of a couple of tweaks so that it's not the pain point that it is. Thank you! |
Whichever way you slice it, four months is still a ridiculously long time for just one replica armor set which has zero affect on gameplay or achievement rate. You'll get no argument from me that pets and mounts should take time, as they're tied to achievements, but replica armor? I spent less time and effort collecting my judgment armor, and I had to grab a couple people once per week to come help me because you can't solo BWL (at least not the first boss). I'm seriously expected to spend far longer trying to collect armor pieces? In the time it'll take me to collect a full suit, I could level an alt from 1 to 85, and you know what? Those replica sets aren't even that good. By that time that alt's to 85, I'll probably start farming for T5 pieces or whatever looks better for that class. For me, replica armor was a nice little fun boost. I never expected it to be such a horrendous grind fest for something which has no actual tangible ingame effect. And if I want to pursue those replica armor suits, I have to forego the mounts and pets in the meantime. So I have to decide between having an aesthetically pleasing look for a level 5 alt and a tangible, ingame bonus. Sorry, but that doesn't strike me as particularly appealing. |
Armory says medium for the level 15 ones: Imbued Crystal Monstrous Egg Mysterious Grimoire Ornate Weapon The level 85 ones don't list a droprate: A Treatise on Strategy Soothsayer's Runes |
Thank you. !@#$ing bad troll is bad |
Sorry you failed at math again. 1420 tickets for 6 pets, 2 mounts, one set of gear. You dont need both but throw a second set in and you have 3 more months. thats a 13 month plan. I like you. Also, you guys remember the Violet Proto-Drake? Yeah, it takes 12 months to get. Or those Children's Week pets? 3 years to get all of them. Seriously stop your complaining. If you want the gear so bad suck it up and work for it, it is more than doable. ***AND people need to stop including the bracers for their ticket calculations and how long it will take. NOBODY WILL SEE THEM ANYWAY. You DO NOT need them for the set to look complete. |
well, at least we get to repeat the 1 time quests every month... still think the 5 ticket reward per daily on the PTR was better though. =(
The point at which the time investment isn't worth the reward is the point at which those who decide on these things should iterate on what is known as "appropriate". I would like my priest to wear a particular set of gear from the DMF. My priest is an alt that I don't plan on investing four months of my time on just to acquire a set of not-half-bad looking gear. This defeats the purpose (for me) of putting that gear in there in the first place.
One point that I want to make (a point based on a perspective, and not infallible, universal fact, mind you) is that the daily "grind" of the DMF and all daily quests in general is not something that I consider to be "work" in the sense of "working hard". "Working hard" for me was going out for twelve hours, or twenty hours on the weekend to grind rep with the Skyguard in BC, or Hydraxian rep. That was putting in work. I suffered, got my fingertips a little bloody, but after a long campaign done on MY OWN TIME, I had my rewards. It let me move on to the next big thing (trying to track down Thunderfury for my Warlock), and not have to break up my game experience every day by sending me to the far corners of the world doing gated dailies. Gating rewards is a clever way to keep people playing and paying. We have to pay you for four months in order to grind the DMF for four months, instead of just sitting down for fifteen hours and doing repeatable quests like we could back in Burning Crusade. It's also clear that some (many posters here) are starkly disgusted with the idea that their game time is being channeled by the developers as part of some grand scheme to keep us from plowing through content too quickly and becoming bored (as part of a grand scheme to keep us playing and paying). If I want to sit down for half a day, or two of three days when I have a vacation and grind the whole shebang in one go, I should be able to. If that means that I find nothing else to do afterwards because I've achieved a mysterious and fulfilling goal, and have no more use for WoW, then the developers are making content badly (one way or another), I'm a fickle gamer and not paying attention to the other things in the world of warcraft, or that that one special item that I ground my knuckles bloody for really has completed my life. TL/DR Read it anyway. It's good for you. I don't want to log in every day for four months doing the same thing every day in order to obtain marks of the world tree, or gather faire tickets, or gain rep so that I can buy fun things. That is NOT a fun or fulfilling grind. I don't feel like I've put work in. I feel like I've been kept from something that should have been mine a long time ago. Another point was made that I agree with, too. Why do I have to do dungeons to gather tickets for a faire that awards vanity items? Usually, I'll play skiball for a few hours at the faire, not hop in the car, drive to the nearest war zone on the planet, and fight hordes of random people for them. In my honest opinion, make the faire quests repeatable. That's a hell of a grind for one ticket per quest, but people can do it at their own pace, and there's a lot of good things to collect. As it stands, DMF feels like a hopeless grind, and I'm quickly becoming disenchanted. Change all rep dailies to repeatable quests. Make dailies just for cash/dungeon points/honor/whatever else you want that affects progression. Let me have my vanity items after some serious work, but don't artificially keep me from them via dailies. Don't artificially keep me from things via dailies. Don't dailies. Let me do the work when I want to do it. |
Just killed the RFC boss twice, one artifact. I do have a life, thats why i maximize my time to get things done faster. Im waiting for raid to start, farmed a drop. One less i have to farm the rest of the week.
I like you too. Dont really see the chest either with a tabard on. |
The original armor did not take me more than 2 months to complete. Ya, but we're not talking T3 here. It just dungeon gear and not nearly as show off worthy as most raid gear. Unless you add gear worth grinding 4 months for, I think most people will skip the replica sets to get the mounts and pets.

I fished up a Sea Pony last night. Nothing else matters.
k fine, I want that tiny little pony and tiger mounts. zomg too cute. I would save tickets for 2 years if I can get those mounts. I want that tiger mount more than Caitie wants her goggles. That's a LOT of want. =P So after 3 resets, the games are still fun! The island is cool - love the colors. There's an anticipatory air of "More To Come". The areas outside are spooky. There's that sinking feeling looking at the deathmatch cage and what waits within. Really, 12 trinkets? Oh gawd. At least this thread has shut the "I want the level 60 PvP gear" people up. This is our new Long Strange Trip type of deal. Enjoy the journey. |
At least this thread has shut the "I want the level 60 PvP gear" people up. This is our new Long Strange Trip type of deal. Enjoy the journey. Not at all. I didn't need to log in and do every single daily every single and accomplish every single feat every day the holiday lasted in order to get that achievement and the proto-drake. Often times, I could bang it out in a few days and not worry about it for the rest of the two weeks that the event was going on. Here, though, I have to log in every day just to try to maximize the number of tickets. I can't afford to miss a single day. |
I fished up a Sea Pony last night. Nothing else matters. At least Long Strange Trip had a mount (310 speed IIRC) exclusively for it, and nothing was mooched off of the instances. |

Just to clarify one point, the quest drops that happen in the dungeons/raids/BG's happen all the time, even if the faire isn't in town. Think of it sort of like the Darkmoon Card redemptions. You're out playing all month, while you're doing stuff you're getting chances at the items, then when the faire is in town you turn it all in. (It's also worth pointing out that the turn-in items aren't soulbound, so just like the cards I'd expect some people to farm them just to put them up on the AH.)
It's really just this first week and appearance of the faire that's off because the Darkmoon Adventurer's Guide wasn't available for the 3 weeks prior. When it rolls around next month there should be better feel for how the whole system and ticket acquisition rate feels. |
It's 3 years - little over 37 months to acquire every single mount and pet in the game. It's 5 years to acquire at least 2 image copies of the dungeon set 1 and 2 in the game (appropriate to your class). Again you're straight up lying. Each transmog set is 520 and you can get around 120 a month. All the Darkmoon mounts and pets are 900, seriously are you like some guerilla marketer for TOR or something? I've never seen a person this confused about addition and division in my entire life.
Edited by Gulvak on 12/6/2011 3:58 PM PST
You point out part of the reason so many have an issue. As you just pointed out we already have/had countless number of grinds for pets and mounts. And some of you are fighting for things to stay that way? Why? And if you can do it without using "people just want stuff handed to them" or any of it's forms you get an extra point. |
Thats a huge difference. No one has any right to complain now. |

Reviewed Ultimate Layer Cake
Feb 15, 2013 in Food Network Community Toolbox on FoodNetwork.com
"I made this cake for a birthday and it was a complete hit! Besides the wow factor in looks, the chocolaty deliciousness was in every bite. My personal favorite part was the fudge sunday frosting. I did put wax papaer over the ends of the cake to help retain the moisture on the open ends. It really helped since I don't have a cake cover that tall!""

Follow-Up Postings:
my plant was doing well with tomatoes already growing the green stage now these lumps or growths are going all over the stems and killing the plant. i dont think they are root nodes because they go all the way up the plant on some of the branches. i tried pruning off the dying branches to see if it would help |
Root initials. Usually due to hi humidity/moisture and/or stress. If the plant is dying, that's not the reason. Look for the primary cause. |

Introducing: Timur Kim
What better time to discover a few new designers than the New Year, eh? Well, to be honest any time of year is a good time to learn about the up and coming créatifs who will soon be shaping our sartorial worlds and wardrobes. It's also slightly questionable whether the last week of January can still be considered "the new year" but you know what I mean. This particular designer is one who I've been meaning to post about for a while now but as is always the way, everything got very busy and I haven't managed to until now. In a mere matter of weeks Timur Kim will be unveiling his AW15 collection (scary!) so I thought I'd better get on with sharing the SS15 designs that first caught my eye pretty pronto…

Understanding that each child learns differently, the staff members of Sylvan Learning?s numerous centers design personalized programs. Based on the results of standardized testing, diagnostic tools, and one-on-one interviews, the staff works with students to help them firmly grasp basic skills such as reading, writing, math, and how to remember facts without tattooing them to their chests. Programs target students in kindergarten through grade 12 and mold to various learning styles, helping kids feel more comfortable in the classroom. Afterschool or summer classes can ready high-school students for the rigors of the ACT or the SAT, or they can help students wow college-admissions officers with their superior writing skills, exemplary test scores, and willingness to arm-wrestle the school mascot.
The staff members at Sylvan Learning's numerous centers understand that each child learns differently. Therefore, they don't try to implement a uniform tutoring system; instead, they design custom lesson programs based on the results of a skills assessment using diagnostic tools and one-on-one interviews.
Tutors work with students from pre-kindergarten through grade 12, illuminating topics ranging from basic reading and writing to remembering complex algebraic formulas without having them tattooed on your chest. Many of Sylvan's instructors work in local schools, so they are intimately familiar with common curricula and understand how to gear lessons toward optimal results. Camps and after-school and summer classes can ready high-schoolers for the rigors of the ACT or the SAT, or they can help students to wow college-admissions officers with their superior essay-writing skills.
With its comfortable classrooms, computer lab, lounge, and private study areas, American English Institute gives newcomers to the country a preview of typical school settings. But, its curriculum is tailored entirely to nonnative English speakers. The Intensive English program, a nearly full-time eight-week course, represents the core of the curriculum. The course helps students climb through five levels of English aptitude, from beginner to advanced, and quickly shapes their reading and writing skills, grammar, and speaking and listening abilities. Students can also opt for goal-specific programs, such as GED or university prep.
Royal Bartending School's convivial classes on mixology teach burgeoning barkeeps how to shake, stir, and blend drinks ranging from martinis to margaritas. In the four-hour crash course, aperitif apprentices learn to mix drinks and chic shots while mastering jargon for bar equipment and garnishes. Pupils seeking a master's in mixology enter into the 40-hour program, where amiable teachers use hands-on instruction to instill the knowledge of more than 21 liquor-focused subjects into eager noggins. After a bar set-up practice, mixology-theory lessons analyze the science behind mixed drinks, the essence of proper customer service, and the history of the shaken-versus-stirred martini war of '77. Leaving the course with 30 hours of practical mixing knowledge and mastery of drinks and shooters, graduates can wow friends and coworkers at holiday parties or the office. Novice blenders perfect their soda-gun technique with quick-draw competitions, and after changing out of their wet shirts, master blending liquors and sodas in speed drills.
Founded and led by Dr. Sam Bakhtiar—a bodybuilding champion with both a master's and doctorate degree in fitness—Fitness Concepts houses an enthusiastic team of trainers dedicated to helping clients tone up within a 10,000-square-foot facility with rows of free weights and clusters of exercise machines. During specific programs, such as one-on-one personal-training sessions, they'll help fit seekers target their personal goals, whether that's strengthening their core, shaping up before a wedding, or conditioning for a sport.
Fitness Concepts' programs include dynamic boot-camp classes, which burn calories and strengthen bodies with ever-changing workouts and encouragement from invested trainers. Each facet of Fitness Concepts is designed to banish fat, break through fitness barriers, and help members feel more confident than Michael Jordan during his visit to Munchkin Land.
On the site of the first school in Alta Loma, the Rancho Heritage School continues a tradition of educating local students that began nearly a century ago. Its programs offer curriculum-based learning for students from preschool through second grade. Kids study a full complement of math, science, language-arts, and physical-education courses in classes with no more than 15 students. During the summer, the school transforms into a camp, still retaining a strong focus on education. Weeklong themed camp sessions teach kids about forest creatures, the Olympics, and the local geography on a trip to Mt. Baldy Nature Center.

Our pull-through site was long enough to accommodate our motorhome and toad, but tight side to side. Park staff trimmed a tree on one side so we could fully extend our slide, but a tree on the door-side prevented us from fully extending our awning. The sites and roads are crushed stone, which are watered to keep the dust down. The park is being expanded across Miller Creek, but there is no direct access from the overflow to the main park, only by car via a very busy divided highway. The cabins are cute and quite comfortable. There is a great indoor firepit and the winter Texans know the secrets for starting the fire and making it draft. The regular guests we met were all really nice fun people. We enjoyed a live band booked at the rec room. We will stay again. - jacksup1212
Very sorry to downgrade our rating (last time we stayed here we loved it), but we were assigned a gravel parking spot in the storage unit area. No grass, no picnic table, no vegetation of any kind, and worst of all, no warning. I understand that it's a holiday weekend (but we did book over a month ago) and they said we wouldn't be "on the river." However, when one books a site at a "resort," one does not expect to be in a parking lot. The office staff is very nice, but I do think it'd behoove them to prepare folks in advance. All the other sites are very nice, although there is a fair amount of highway noise toward the front of the park. Our dog enjoyed the smallish but off leash dog run. - JCLC
Rally rate. Wonderful pristine Rv campground 7 miles south of Johnson City. Best kitchen I have ever seen and a wonderful rally hall. Sites are spaced apart. many day trip opportunities within 10-30 miles from camp. Very nice staff. Would stay here again. - Oooooooo

We picked this park to visit the LBJ National and State parks. The park is in a very hilly part of Hill Country and is remote, about 8 miles to some limited services in Johnson City. Campground is about 30 miles from Austin. All sites in the water/electric camping area are paved. The park was full over Easter weekend, but on Sunday many cleared out. Fee does not include the daily per-person $5 entrance fee which adds up quickly. A Texas park pass waives those charges and pays back quickly with discounts. All sites were back-in, many were not level, but subject to correction. The area of the falls were popular with day users on a sunny afternoon. We would stay again. - Jay Rutherford
This is an older park with approximately 60 trailer sites. The sites aren't quite level, and are narrow - you can fit in a travel trailer with slide outs, but it's a squeeze. The park itself is beautiful, in the rolling Texas hill country. The Pedernales River cuts over uplifted limestone beds, creating 'falls'. I've yet to visit then the river was flowing fast enough to see it, though. There is an excellent bird blind near the falls, and a nice swimming section below them. - Red Wolf
What a wonderful St Park. Agree with previous raters that spaces are a bit short, narrow, need leveling (some VERY short, narrow and unlevel) and some tables and fire rings are in strange places (on opposite side from RV door), but the spaces are separated by trees and distance. The hiking is excellent, esp down to and along the river. The falls are spectacular. There are two bird watching blinds staffed by volunteers--do NOT miss this! There is a wonderful winery (Texas Hills) and in town the Silver K restaurant is wonderful. Since it's close to Austin and San Antonio, I suspect it gets crowed at times, but we can't wait to return all year round, but esp during the summer to use the river's picturesque swimming area. - jpatt

What a great little park this was. We were only going to stay a couple nights but ended up staying 10 nights. It's in a perfect location and there's lots to see within a 30 mile radius. Gas station and grocery store are right next door. A huge laundry is on the other side of the park. Owner is super friendly and helpful. Pool table, club house, exercise room, book exchange. The only thing it's missing is a hot tub! Sites are quite close but it worked. We would definitely stay here again. - Wanderin
We stayed here while passing thru Johnson City. What a nice park. Owner/host was super accommodating. Spaces have level concrete pads and are close together. It is nicely maintained. Would stay here again - Jdawg
This park is right off hwy 281 and 290 in Johnson City, TX. We stayed here for a night so we could visit the Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park in Johnson City. The park has 44 pull through sites with full hookups, 10 new spacious sites with 50 amps for big rigs, and 18 back in sites. The bathrooms were clean. The laundry only had one machine but it was new, fast, and only a $1.00. When we checked in the owner had baked some chocolate chip cookies and they were so good right out of the oven. There is no cable here but they do have free Wi-Fi, a market, restaurants, and ACE hardware all within walking distance. There is a winery within a mile. It was a good stop! - gsnakehill

For Dr. Susan Kraus, associate professor of psychology at Fort Lewis College and recipient of the 2013 Alice Admire Outstanding Teaching Award, began, in part, by getting criticized while earning her graduate degrees from the University of Colorado-Boulder.
"As a graduate student, I was chastised for spending too much time mentoring my students, and was pushed to prioritize research," she recalls. "While I love research, and have not neglected that part of my career, teaching always will be my highest priority."
What do Costa Rica, happiness, and the Fort Lewis College Achievement Award have in common? In his decade of work, Associate Professor of Psychology Brian Burke has shown deep dedication to the college's staff, faculty, and students, as well as the Durango community. Per the American Psychological Association's mantra to "give psychology away," Dr. Burke has spread his enthusiasm off campus to the new Durango Discovery Museum, an interactive science center, shared his expertise in Durango Herald articles and an NPR short, and trained Axis, San Juan Basin Health, La Plata Youth Services, and Durango School District 9-R staff in Motivational Interviewing, an evidence-based counseling approach.
People are affected by environmental changes. For example, climate warming may lead to more carbon dioxide emissions from Arctic soils to the atmosphere, leading to greater warming, leading to an increase in mosquitoes and a greater risk of diseases carried by mosquitoes for people and wildlife.
"That means that as a society, we need to include these complex interactions across ecological systems in our planning to ensure we can 'live with' the conditions we create," explains Assistant Professor of Biology Heidi Steltzer, recipient of the 2013 New Faculty Award.
At any college or university, there are the faculty who teach and research and there are the staff who get the faculty the resources they need to do the best job they can do. Getting those resources, whether it is grant funding or assistance from the federal government, is the job of Ms. Angela Rochat, director of the Fort Lewis College Office of Sponsored Research and Federal Relations and recipient of the 2013 Outstanding Staff Award.
"I became interested in athletic training when I took a basic principles of athletic training class," says John Jewell. "My professor's love for athletic training was evident, and her excitement for what she did made me want to see what athletic training was all about."
"Once I started, I couldn't imagine doing any other major," he adds.

Superior Court Orders Newton Police Chief (New Hampshire) to Issue Gun License and Pay Attorney Fees and Costs
[Posted Friday, April 6, 2012, at 12:30 p.m.] In a court case that should give notice to every police chief in New Hampshire to obey the law on issuing concealed carry licenses, Rockingham County Superior Court Judge Kenneth R. McHugh ordered Newton Police Chief Lawrence Streeter to issue Robert J. Ferraras concealed carry license (License to Carry) and awarded attorney fees and costs. Under New Hampshire law (RSA 159:6-f), an issuing authority -- typically the police chief -- may be personally liable to pay reasonable attorney fees and costs for violating the state law on issuing licenses (RSA 159:6). In this case, the Town of Newton was also sued and could be held responsible to pay as well.
The lawsuit was brought on behalf of Mr. Ferrara by the law firm of E.F. Nappen Attorney at Law P.C., Concord. Mr. Ferrara applied for a license and never received a written denial as required by law. Under New Hampshire law (RSA 159:6), a chief of police or other issuing authority has 14 days to approve or deny such an application in writing. A written denial must be delivered to the applicant.
